OTHER NEWS TO NOTE - NORTHEAST

January 6, 1999

WILMINGTON, Del. - A judge warned murder defendant Thomas Capano of possible ``Draconian sanctions'' on Tuesday, saying Capano was trying to manipulate the prosecution. The warning came after Capano, a one-time state deputy attorney general, called the prosecutor a ``heartless, gutless, soulless disgrace for a human being.'' Capano, 49, is accused of killing Anne Marie Fahey, the governor's scheduling secretary, in June 1996 because she wanted to end their affair.
